small stereo suggestion

[Eric P]

So I would like to play music in my kitchen while I cook.  Currently I use my iphone or laptop to play music and you can guess that it sounds horrible.

i'd love to find a fairly good, yet inexpensive radio for the smallish room.  Bluetooth or auxillary cable would be better for me than the 30 pin connector.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Find a cricket store near you and buy a jambox. They are advertised for $49.99, normally $160 or so.

[Eric P]

I'm afraid i don't know what that is.  Is it Cricket Wireless or something else?

[G The Resurrected]

Yes Cricket Wireless, find a corporate store.

[Eric P]

ah.  Unfortunately there aren't any in my area (nyc).  thank you for the suggestion

Cricket is for poor black people, if it helps. There should be plenty in the hood.

Got a bestbuy/walmart near by? you can pricematch it

It's worth the trouble

This is true, I only suggest it cause they are selling the Jambox's like they just got them off the back of a truck from queens.

Here is another suggestion if only due to its price.

I have that monster speaker and it's awesome. Small footprint and it can fill a small room with decent-to-middling quality sound.

I bring it to the beach all the time. 

If we had Cricket in our area I would get the Jambox, which I believe is a little larger has a little more oomph to it.

[Eric P]

ok thanks guys.  I'll see if I can grab a jambox.

You want oomph? Get the Big Jambox that sucker is so powerful its not even funny. Its got suction cups on the bottom to make sure the fucker doesn't walk away from you. Granted the small Jambox does the same thing too.

I have this- bass heavy but still pretty great

[G The Resurrected]

That thing is way too big though. Its not very portable friendly, it does sound great though. We still have our old Bose station, we use from time to time. I found that the new one tended to have a dramatic drop off in quality of sound with the addition of Bluetooth.

[MrAngryFace]

way too big? it's sitting on a dvd case in my living room-

[G The Resurrected]

Yeah its big dude, look at it compared to a jambox or the monster (which is even smaller)

[MrAngryFace]

Just stand farther away from it

[naff]

Whoa that Jambox deal is slick, not being sold on their site though otherwise I would order a few for Christmas  :'( That Monster ClarityHD box sounds like a sweet deal though @$50 through their site.

Late on this but just wanted to mention Creative D100. Been using it with my phone and Surface and it rocks. Bluetooth and aux jack for your convenience.

It's cheap but bigger than this jambox.

Another one I read good stuff on is the Nokia Play 360 Bluetooth speaker. Slick and you might find good deals on it since it is being replaced with a new model.
